		Definition of self-similar in English: self-similaradjective  Mathematics (of an object or set of objects) similar to itself at a different time, or to a copy of itself on a different scale.  the result has the property of being self-similar, a magnified portion looks like the whole  Example sentencesExamples -  He noted that the body is full of fractals, self-similar repeating patterns at different scales, just as nature is full of fractals.
 -  We would like to understand the projections of self-similar sets in the plane.
 -  Since the creature does not change shape, rather simply grows larger, the most efficient way to do this is for its shell to grow in the self-similar form of a logarithmic spiral.
 -  Indeed, nature features many irregular shapes that are self-similar - that repeat themselves on different scales within the same object.
 -  A fractal is a mathematical object that is self-similar irrespective of scale.
 
 
 Derivatives   noun  Mathematics  For example, a number of musicians have played with the fractal notion of self-similarity, in which each smaller piece of a structure is a miniature version of the larger structure.  Example sentencesExamples -  The results are visually more subtle than the instantly identifiable, artificial patterns generated using exact self-similarity, where the patterns repeat exactly at different magnifications.
 -  Nature builds its fractals using statistical self-similarity: the patterns observed at different magnifications, although not identical, are described by the same statistics.
 -  The principle of self-similarity that underlies fractal geometry, crucial to the scientific understanding of nature, is reflected in much two-dimensional South African art, including beadwork and mural arts among the Basotho.
 -  However, stems tapering according to stress self-similarity had the larger factors of safety near their base compared to those tapering according to geometric or elastic self-similarity.
